The vxedit command associates a comment with the specified SFW objects. These include the volume, plex, subdisk, disk media, and disk group. You can also set properties for the Volume Replicator objects using this command.

The vxedit command also provides keywords for editing the comments that are associated with the volumes. This section specifically describes the keywords that are applicable to Volume Replicator.

For detailed information about all "the keywords refer to the Storage Foundation Administrator's Guide Chapter "Command Line Interface under Section 2 Managing.

Table: vxedit command options

Keyword

Description

-V

Indicates that the vxedit command needs to perform the specified operation for the RVG.

-P

Indicates that the vxedit command needs to perform the specified operation for an RLINK.

-f

Forcefully removes the specified Volume Replicator object; RVG or RLINK.

The delete operation is performed even if the RLINK is attached and associated to an RVG or the data access is enabled for the RVG. Some operations may be disallowed even with this flag.

Note:

This -f option can cause data corruption because the Secondary may miss the writes that may have been present on the Replicator Log but did not reach the Secondary. Because there is no way of knowing whether the Replicator Log had some pending writes that have not yet been sent to the Secondary, use this option only if you know that the Secondary is completely up-to-date.

-r

Performs the specified operations recursively on the objects that are associated with the selected object. For example, when used with the rm keyword, for an RVG, all the associated objects such as the data volumes, RLINKs and Replicator Log are also removed.
